Re: RegExp on TextResource

Not sure whats your problem, maybe 'multiline text' is causing the regex to fail.

Alternatively, you can use GQuery and work with the nodes instead of strings. Something like (html must start with '<')...

Gquery root = $(html);
// to read...
String pInnerHtml = root.filter(true,"#pid").html();
// to write...
root.filter(true,"#pid").html("updated <b>content</b>");
// finally, append to the dom
root.appendTo(somePlace);

Hi All,

I am trying to apply a regular expression on a TextResource (which is an html file),

but it does not work. I can see the content of the resource as strign. If I provide the content of the file directly to RegExp it works.

String html = ReadHtmlResources.INSTANCE.
                    getDocumentationHtml().getText();

RegExp regExp = RegExp.compile("<p id='pid'>(.*?)</p>");

MatchResult matcher = regExp.exec(html);

boolean matchFound = matcher != null; // returns false


Any idea why this does not work?

Cheers,
Alireza
